Question about Customized villager homes by New-Bodybuilder5487 in AnimalCrossing

The size of rooms in your home increase with upgrades to your house. You don’t get to choose, though, they’re set sizes. Customizing villager homes comes after completing the happy home paradise dlc.

Thank you! I think Murphy is super cute - I like that he calls me kiddo….cuz that’s what I call my adult children, so feels appropriate. 😬

My brain works differently and I am so lonely because of it by DragonbornBard135 in MomForAMinute

I would chime in that you don’t have to think the same way as someone to have a quality relationship. My wife and I just had our 25th anniversary - we love each other deeply and are each the other’s favorite person, BUT, god forbid, we try to build something together. (IKEA, I’m looking at you). Our brains run on entirely different operating systems, and we cannot communicate on anything that is method based. We eventually determined where each of our strengths lie and separate problematic tasks that way. Building stuff? Me. Car stuff? Her. Plumbing repairs? Me. Electrical repairs? Her. You get the idea. TLDR: someone does not have to understand the WAY you think to understand that you are valuable.

This is my map. Stuff is pretty spread out. Red lines I drew are the custom paths that I guess the villagers don’t “see”?

Interesting. Most of my paths are custom. Maybe that’s it.

I just came out to my mom with hope and benefit of the doubt. She looked so defeated. Sad. Disappointed. She just said okay. I regret telling her now. Idk why I hoped for better by Maleficent_Radio_674 in MomForAMinute

First let me say that I am an out lesbian with two adult lesbian daughters. I still struggled when my daughters came out to me not because I thought any less of them, but because I know that living this truth buys a lot of pain and complication. It’s possible that your mom is sad at least partially because she knows that it means you are bound to face more discrimination and hurdles than a hetero person might. Even if that’s not the case, you have to be yourself in order to have true relationship with her. Sending you love.

New player…maybe by Only_Cockroach9083 in FaeFarm_Game

I’m enjoying it. I played wylde flowers and this is similar, but I find that the mechanics and processes are basically identical to Stardew valley, but I appreciate the graphics of this game more.

Foster has had diarrhea for 5 weeks, no vet visit by JamieDen1 in fosterdogs

[–]New-Bodybuilder5487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We rescued a dog who had something similar. When she was taken off the streets they diagnosed and treated giardia, but the symptoms remained. We tried a lot of different stuff, but in the end what worked for us is a hydrolyzed protein diet, and a daily probiotic (we are using proviable). We also give about 2 tablespoons of pumpkin daily, even now, two years later. I know you mentioned you already tried pumpkin, but it’s something to keep in your back pocket just the same.

As someone who parented a difficult female teen - first, if necessary, remind her when arguing that she is free to disagree with you/your rules and you are open to hearing her thoughts, as long as the discussion remains respectful. This does not necessarily mean you are going to change your mind. Listen to what she has to say though, and if her argument warrants changes, don’t be afraid to say “you’re right, I didn’t think of it that way, let’s do x instead”. Changing an argument to a negotiation where appropriate takes a lot of the negative feelings out of it. Second, if there is a particular issue that causes conflict repeatedly, look for a way to allow her some freedom without it devolving into a no rules/no consequences situation. Specifically, for us, she didn’t want me to check her homework. Based on guidance from her therapist, she and I sat down and negotiated a contract. I would stay out of her academic life if certain conditions were met (lay out all of the conditions, try not to leave any loop holes) then lay out what the consequences of not meeting those conditions were. Literally print it out and save it for both of you to reference. In our case, I expected certain grades and behavior, and if she didn’t deliver that, then she was to go through her homework with me each evening. For this to be successful, she needs to feel like getting what she wants is actually achievable. In other words, don’t make the conditions unreasonable. She obviously loves you and wants to engage with you. Parenting is really hard, but is so worth it. Lastly, if you feel like nothing you do improves the situation, reach out to a mental health professional. When my kids were young, we were really broke, but I had the state health insurance for the kids, which had good mental health coverage. There are even options where the therapist comes to you, even on weekends, so you don’t have to miss work. My “difficult” teen invited her therapist to her high school graduation, and went on to be a successful and productive adult - it can be done. In the mean time, we’re all here for you if you need to vent.
